black smoke swirling around Hawke

I'm in Act 3 and Hawke has black smoke swirling around her. It doesn't seem to be impeding gameplay but I cannot get rid of it. What could be causing this?

Ok! So I just ran into this problem and I was disappointed when I came here and saw no solutions! So I figured out it's from the Hurlock Alpha in the Legacy DLC. He does some weird dark magic on you that has the visual effect of the smoke around Hawke. I think the glitch comes in if you kill the Hurlock Alpha as he's doing this spell(?) on you.
So this isn't really a solution for after this, but in the moment if you see it still on you outside the battle, just reload to a previous save and don't kill him when the smoke is around you. Sorry if this isn't super helpful if you're already past the Legacy DLC, but it is what worked for me. U•ェ•*U

Is Hawke a Rogue?
Have you got "Shadow"as a Specialization and "Shadow Form" as a Talent?
Is it activated (perhaps as a "Self>Any" Tactic)?

i have the same problem, it;s a black-blue smoke swirling around hawke's torso, it's not from my tallent/abilities tree (i tried a maker's sigh potion and it did not work, i also tried disabling any talents and tactics)
my hawke is a shadow / assassin rogue
the problem appeared after i played the legacy dlc, i'm almost at the end of act3 (in fact i have yet to take the last main quest to finish the game and play trough themark of the assassin dlc)
also i tried messing around with the video options, it did not solve anything
here's a pic of my problem
